Clinton Impeachment Lawyer Dies

By RONALD POWERS, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - Charles Ruff, an influential Washington lawyer who made a career of defending politicians with legal problems and represented President Clinton (news - web sites) during the Monica Lewinsky (news - web sites) scandal and his impeachment trial, has died at age 61.

``All of us at the White House admired Chuck for the power of his advocacy, the wisdom of his judgment and the strength of his leadership,'' Clinton said. ``We loved him for his generous spirit and his keen wit which he used to find humor in even the most challenging circumstances.''

The president issued a statement aboard Air Force One during the flight back to Washington after his historic visit to Vietnam.

Patrick Marshall, watch commander at the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department's Second District headquarters said Ruff's wife found him unconscious in the master bedroom of their Washington home.

``It appears to be from natural causes, there is no indication of foul play,'' said Marshall. Paramedics were unable to revive Ruff and he was pronounced dead at D.C. General Hospital.
